Let's Eat

My stockpile of food photos that I haven't shared with you yet is starting to steadily grow. In an effort to stay up to date, I thought I'd lighten the load a bit and show some highlights of the past few weeks to just so you wouldn't miss anything. You may need a napkin nearby...Bon Appetit, mon amies

Fish tacos - a summer must. Filets marinated in a romesco/gazpacho inspired sauce with all the fixins...

Reducing in port wine and other wonderful things like cinnamon and honey

In the meantime, dinner is served. Baked halibut with a lemon juice thinned mayo and mustard sauce with garlic scapes

And one of my all time favorite things: a mound of greens fresh from the garden - spinach, beet greens, snow peas. Accompanied by blue cheese chunks, beets, toasted almonds, and a vinaigrette of fresh orange juice, white balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Who knew a snow pea could be such a great carrier boat for blue cheese and almonds

Then finally time to hit the grill

Served with plain greek yogurt thinned with the marinade of OJ and honey, topped with toasted almonds, and, well, more honey. Because, why not?

Puff pastry time.

Port wine-Fig jam cave

Topped with the jam, the leftover blue cheese, and the toasted almonds

Buttery and flaky have never had it so good.

Just your average mountain view dinner. Eggplant parm stacked high with homemade marinara, mozz, and lots of the real deal parm of course. Homemade rosemary focaccia on the side for dipping and mopping.

And just your average camping dinner. Rice noodle vegetable curry with snow peas, swiss chard, mushrooms, and zucchini, all from the Steamboat Springs farmer's market.

Never forget the beverage. Beer of the Rockies best enjoyed looking at them.
